The recently re-established Rko is developing a remake of the 1936 road comedy titled Love on a Bet for comedy regular Steve Carr (of Daddy Day Care and Are We Done Yet?) to direct. The original was directed by Leigh Jason and starred Gene Raymond and Wendy Barrie. In the film, to raise money for a play, a man bets his rich uncle that he can begin a journey in New York's Central Park with nothing but his underwear and end up in California with a suit, $100 and a fiancee. I really love that concept, but in the hands of Steve Carr, it's going to be turned into one hell of a shitty Hollywood movie. What a travesty! "The original took place in the days where it was racy to be in underwear," producer Ted Hartley told Hollywood Reporter. "This movie is going to start out with the guy wearing ...

RKO is putting money down for "Love on a Bet," a remake of a 1936 road comedy that will be directed by Steve Carr.
RKO's Ted Hartley is producing along with Carr and Jason Taragan via their Rumpus Entertainment banner. Aaron Ray is producing as well.
The original "Bet" was a Depression-era comedy -- directed by Leigh Jason and starring Gene Raymond and Wendy Barrie -- that followed a man who, in order to raise money for a play, makes a bet with a rich uncle that he can begin a journey in New York's Central Park with nothing but his underwear and end up in California with a suit, $100 and a fiancee.
"The original took place in the days where it was racy to be in underwear," Hartley said. "This movie is going to start out with the guy wearing a lot less than his underwear. It's going to be edgy and romantic.
